This portrait was created as a seductive beacon, helping us to navigate a map that marks the territory of our own self-realization. As we explore the reasons for our seduction this map becomes clear, displaying the route of and to our desire. Per Guy Debord, "the world already possesses the dream of a time whose consciousness it must now possess in order to actually live it."
